About

I am a dedicated IT Business Development and Recruitment Professional and I value the importance of networking and building relationships. I specialize in recruiting top IT talent within the areas of applications, network infrastructure, end user support and communication technologies and finding mutually beneficial synergies throughout the GTA. My background in customer service, volunteering and being heavily involved in athletics makes me a team player and an outgoing individual. I have an Honors Bachelor degree in Sociology and Communications, which I believe gives me a balance between people and technology. I graduated from McMaster University as a member of the Golden Key Honors Society and strive to improve myself and others every day.
